Unfortunately our company was purchased by a nationwide company and there is now no way that they would ever do away with the current policy.
We have new fencing/gates, security cameras (sounds like right where she was attacked) and they have doubled up on the security guards, but it will never be enough. I really don't expect that if the a problem arises these guys/gals would do anything but tuck tail and run, and I couldn't blame them seeing how they probably make $6-$7/hr and their lives are more valuable than that.

Our Security Guard is "attacked and robbed"
The management company of the office building I work at sent the following email this morning:

This is to inform you of the incident that happened at **** ****** Building on 8/04/05 at about 8.20 p.m., in which the security guard was apparently attacked and robbed of some of her valuables. This happened in the grounds near the main entry to the building whilst she was heading towards the garage where a black person, about 5' 9", weighing approx. 150 to 160 lbs, aged 30-40, wearing black trousers, attacked her from behind and robbed of her valuables. Fortunately she was not hurt but she was visibly shaken.
(I guess the following is supposed to make us feel safer)
The police were informed and they arrived promptly at the building.
According to the officer, it appeared a rather unusual occurrence at an office building and he felt that this type of incident is more likely to happen at apartment complexes. He was however going to be extra vigilant for the next few days. We also met with the chief supervisor of the security company this evening who has substituted an officer immediately today for the safety of the tenants in the building. They will explore possible options tomorrow with management.
------------ End --------------------
Can anyone tell me how security guards that can't even protect themselves are supposed to protect us?
Thank God we have a "No Weapons Policy" here, otherwise I'd be worried.
